Register of Members

The Register of Members Beauchamp Lodge No.1422 details each and every member of the Beauchamp Lodge since it’s very first meeting on the 2nd April 1872, in Roorkee, India.

It is a living-breathing register that records the very latest member (January 2023 - Wilmington, England) to the very first member (April 1872 - Roorkee, India). It is an incredible, historical document that would be the pride of any Masonic Museum.

It has been meticulously maintained throughout the ages by each Lodge Secretary and contains various facts relating to the members including the dates each member was initiated, passed and raised, any Offices held in the Lodge, resignation date (more prevalent in the early years of the Lodge as the members were posted throughout the British Empire) and the date they ‘passed’ to the Grand Lodge above.

It is an artefact of which we are extremely proud and over the coming months we will be sharing some of its fascinating entries.

For example - entry #4 Clayton S. Beauchamp, Lieutenant R.E., after whom our Lodge is named
